Amelie Belanger

I'm originally from Quebec, Canada. I live in Brooklyn with my two boys, husband and our cat. I am a Photographer with a focus on family, newborn and event photography. I like to capture the unique energy of people and places. Street photography is where I found my passion and love for the art. To me, street photography was about communicating the feeling of a particular setting. This perspective defines my style of family photography as I work to showcase each family's distinct voice.
